Great work, putting it all together. What is the difference between git fetch and git pull?

Thanks Jitendra :)

A great question. Well! As far as I know,

-   Git Pull downloads the content from the remote repository and also merges the new commits into our working branch
-   Whereas, Git Fetch just copies content from the remote into the local repository.

So, Git Fetch can be considered as a harmless option as our working branch is not altered and our uncommitted work is secure.

Here's a helpful blog on it: [freecodecamp.org/news/git-fetch-vs-pull](https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/git-fetch-vs-pull/)
